LOTR: Rising Stars

 It is said that when the Two Trees, the light of the world, gave life, their last breath was preserved in two orphaned seeds. One bearing the golden laughter of Laurelin, the other the silvery calm of Telperion, these seeds came together one last time and reached for the sky. That momentary reunion was the beginning of an eternal separation; their essences, shining in a single body, became lamps of the Sun and Moon, chasing each other from eternity to eternity. Thus, the sky became both the brightest memory of unity and the everlasting power of illumination.
